Little League Baseball
Lake Norman Little League offers recreational baseball divisions of play for boys and girls, league ages 4-16. Rosters are typically composed of 12 players per team. All baseball players above Tee Ball are required to attend a skills evaluation, after which a final determination is made in regards to division placement. Teams are drafted in an attempt to create balance across each division of play.
League Age ranges are typical for these programs to keep participants playing age appropriate ball. Age ranges often overlap, allowing players who need a little more time to develop to play down in a division, or play up in a division if they are ready to advance and if approved by the league board.
Tee Ball Division
The
Tee Ball Division
(league ages 4-6) is often a family’s first introduction to Little League. Tee Ball provides an experience that is grounded in fun, fitness, and fundamentals and is key to growing a child’s love for the game. To aid leagues in providing a positive introduction to baseball and softball, Little League developed a 10-week Tee Ball curriculum that has been shown to improve the experience for players, parents, and coaches.
